I remember Mother’s Days of years gone by when my little girls would make me breakfast in bed. They would make me lie in bed while they were whispering and hustling in the kitchen. The three of them would parade in carrying a tray of toast, cereal and a flower picked from the garden. We [...]

So what are you eating for breakfast? Cold cereal? Dry Toast? Store-bought granola? Or are you one of those people who eats nothing for breakfast? Stop eating right now and pay attention. I’m eating homemade granola – and it is the best thing I have ever made! Truly. I’m going to stop gloating and share [...]

Life has been complicated lately. So much going on…filled with very complex decisions like guiding my Hubby’s parents into assisted living. The journey was full of emotion but with a resolute of what was best for them. Safety first. Happiness second. They finally landed and we are all working on the happiness part but at [...]

This is a recipe full of memories which crosses many chapters in my life.

Tomorrow I’m preparing for my cooking demonstrations at Graf Grower’s. The theme is back to school recipes. This is one of those recipes that if you read the ingredients you may never try it. So I didn’t tell Hubby what was in them… Sweet potatoes and jelly muffins! Cook yourself up some sweet taters… Mash [...]

Did you ever have a recipe that you completely forgot about for twenty years? I did! What was I thinking? The other day I called my sister to find out what she’s been up to and she told me that her and the kids were making “Aunt Linda’s Banana Gems”! I blushed for I haven’t [...]
